Crossing Small Groups

Most groups meet biweekly primarily in homes for 1.5-2 hours. A typical gathering includes:

• Casual connection time, usually with snacks
• Discussion around the Bible or the Sunday sermon
• Prayer

Every group has its own personality, but the goal is the same: growing in Christ together.

Groups meet regularly September-May. They take a break from meeting regularly over the summer but often meet approximately once a month for social gatherings.

You’re never locked in — but we do encourage consistency because deep relationships take time.

That’s completely normal. Most people join a group without knowing anyone else. Groups are designed to be welcoming spaces where new relationships can form naturally.

It may feel awkward at first — that’s part of meeting new people. Most members say the awkward stage passes faster than they expect.

Not every group is the right fit for every person — and that’s okay. Let us know, and we’ll help you explore another option.

Our goal isn’t just to place you somewhere. It’s to help you find a community where you can grow.

We offer a variety of groups, including:

• Couples groups
• Men’s groups
• Women’s groups
• Singles groups
• Mixed-stage groups

Some groups offer childcare, while others do not. You can let us know when you sign up if childcare is a priority for you.

Life happens. Groups understand that vacations, work schedules, and family needs come up.

However, growth and trust build through consistency. If you miss occasionally, that’s okay — but regular attendance helps you get the most out of your group.

You’re not alone — many people join a small group with little or no background in the Bible. You don’t need prior knowledge to participate, and no one expects you to have all the answers. Small Groups are a place to learn, ask honest questions, and grow together in following Jesus. Whether you’re brand new or have been reading Scripture for years, there’s room for you.

We are so excited you want to join a group. The first step is to attend a Small Group Preview.

Small Group Preview is a one-time Sunday morning class where you’ll learn more about what Small Groups at The Crossing are all about and how they work. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions and take your next step toward community.

Small Group Previews are held at the beginning of each semester. Fill out our Interest Form to be among the first to hear when registration opens for the next class!

That’s normal. Almost everyone is.

Courage is often the first step toward meaningful community.
